3 Proven Ways Of Reducing The Cost Of Household Energy
It’s a tough time financially for many householders at the moment, and it doesn’t make things any easier if your energy bills are very expensive this winter.
The extra energy you’re having to consume whilst spending more hours than normal at home may be what’s making them shoot up in cost, but it won’t be the only cause of it.
Recently, experts have come out and warned that the average annual energy bill could increase by £171 this year.
It won’t come to that though if you make a few changes:
Switch to a cheaper tariff
When was the last time you did an energy price-check? If you’ve never done it, you are losing out on a huge saving.
You can find out now by visiting a comparison site and putting in details of your current energy usage. It’s really easy to switch suppliers, and you won’t be cut off at any stage!
How does a £300+ annual saving sound when switching for the first time? Even if you’ve switched in the last year or two, you could still make a good saving.
Fit your home with a new boiler
You will struggle to reduce your fuel costs if your boiler is particularly old and doesn’t provide a sufficient standard of thermal efficiency. It may also be prone to breaking down.
Buying a new A-rated boiler is a big investment, but it will be worth your money, as you will discover when you find out how much it can save you each year.
The Energy Saving Trust estimates that a boiler upgrade of this kind can lead to a yearly saving of £340 for each of the next 15+ years.
